Welcome to the December Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! I'm so excited that you've dropped by!If you've arrived here from Dawn's blog, you're in the right place! If you've gotten lost along the way while hopping, here's a list of all the hoppers in order. :)Have you seen the December stamp of the month yet? Here it is! Some are Cricut shapes, and some are not. I ended up cutting some of mine out by hand.

This card was designed by my friend and team member, Mindy. I love the bling on the strip going across (that's the zip strip from the paper pack.) Thanks, Mindy!

As you know, I have a Washi Tape Phobia, so she was helping me with that. We both got these cute little bags and paper straws from a booth at the Queen & Co booth at CKC recently. She had the idea to use them as flower stems. It would be fun to fill this bag with sweet treats.

My photo was 4". Here are the 2 sizes I cut first - at 5" and 11". Just like Goldilocks - Too small and too big...

8" was just right!

About Me & My Blog

Hello! My name is Lisa Sargent, and I am a Close To My Heart consultant in Newcastle, Washington. Thanks for stopping by! ---
My blog isn't too active now, since I went back to work full time, but I still teach monthly card making classes and have free crafty-time at my house in Newcastle (See tab above for details) and have an e-commerce site (www.lisasargent.closetomyheart.com) if you want to shop. ---
My goal on the blog is to show you artwork, give you ideas on how to use your Close To My Heart supplies, and share with you how my art comes together. ---
Making cards and scrapbooks makes at least 2 people happy - the one making them (that's me...or you!) and the recipient. I hope I can help you make someone happy today.
